Dioptase W/ Quartz (small cabinet)

Mindouli, Republic of the Congo

Ex Cristian H. Gazmuri Collection

Deep green dioptase crystals cover the matrix of this small cabinet piece. The crystals are sharp, lustrous and well formed. Some are double-terminated and they are all clustered on one side of the host rock, contrasting nicely. There are some spots with bruising but overall this piece is in good condition. Showy and perfect for a suite of DR Congo minerals.
